I asked this in the turners too. Just wondering what was your favorite piece of work in 2007? There are some very creative minds here. Picture up everyone.

What you listen to is your business....what you hear is ours.
Ribbon grain Khaya double sink vanity in a Mission style.
Although I'm not completely finished with it, my favorite piece I made this year was this Walnut Occassional Table. I still have to put 2 or 3 more coats of Poly on it, but I absolutely love the way it turned out. It's rather simple, but that's what I like about it and the table goes perfect in our library.
Paul, Tim, Nice work guys. I can see why they are favorites. very creative in both cases.

I'd have to go with this one for just pure enjoyment, but my vanities with the cherry crotch door panels will be right up there, too.

Thats a hard decision, not that I've made so many different things this year. While the mantle project was one I have been wanting to do for a long time, the table I made in the class on furniture making at WoodCraft would have to be my favorite. That's because it's the first piece of furniture I'd made in over twenty years and I learned a lot of new skills as well.

After making this piece I have several different tables in the "planning" stages. Hopefully some will be done by the end of 2008.

I liked how the bookcases came out. Got the idea for the standards from a magazine. The Maple and Cherry looked great together and goes right with the Cherry and Maple desks I made for my daughters.
Wasn't the most difficult but very enjoyable to make.

We rebuilt our living room built-ins, mantle and tile work, all done by myself (not all wood working, but i enjoyed the different aspects of the project.
Before:
After:
Grady - "Thelma, we found Dean's finger"
Thelma - "Where is the rest of him?!"
Well, since I only built 1 thing this year, by default, it is my favorite piece. 1/2 a bunk bed for my son. The other 1/2 will be started in the spring.

I am going to answer on others work. I've seen some great stuff posted here. Simply amazing workmanship!
The project I have enjoyed watching come along is Keith Starosta's shuffleboard. Reading his process and troubleshooting with pictures was great.

my Queen, when it's checkmate in 1 move- the column cabinet face doors "wood" have to be mine. I love the game of chess, fan and active player-do any of you play? I started a set I am making from African mahogany - not quite sure how to do the rooks as of yet?
Merry Christmas
